2018 Series – RevoSlot Porsche GT2 Cup Series

Share this page with:

Series Manager: Marty.
This series will be raced in the first quarter of 2018 (Q1).

In 1996 if you wanted to go endurance racing in the GT2 class you had two options – race a Porsche 911 GT2 or lose.  The Porsches were that dominate in the mid-90’s that they won just about every GT2 race and every GT2 series.  They were the perfect mix of power, handing and more importantly – durability.  The club is looking for the same level of durability in our RevoSlot Porsche 911 GT2 series.  The rules are the most simple one the club has ever used with the goal of putting the focus more on drivers skill than choice of car or set up.


 Final Rule-set

Series Overview

This series is meant to be a driver’s series with the cars being run in stock configurations with very limited modifications being allowed.

The cars will all be stock with the only item open for change to a non-RevoSlot item being the braid.   

Every car will go through a pre-race and post race inspection with this series.

If you want to do anything to your car thats not listed here, don’t!  Cars found to be outside the rules will be disqualified.
